Sharpshooter in Mexico,

The victories won by the United States
troops in Mexico years ago have gen.
orally been ascribed to the superior
fighting qualities of the Americans over
the Mexicans. But Captain lester S.
Bartlett Of the Spencer Rifle Company,
who was recently in Mexico, mentioned
this theory: IAN old Mexican soldier
told me that it was the American sharp
shooters that broke up their troops. All
over Mexico you find what are called
arroyas. They are what we would call
gulches, and occur everywhere in the
plains. They have precipitous banks.
and men sometimes walk into them
without seeing them. They seem to be
the riffs at the bottom OF sea. which
one day may have covered the country.
The American riAemon would drop into
those arroyas. which formed natural
riae-pits for them. and, having superior
rifles for those days, were able to pick
of the Mexicans before the latter got
within shooting distance with their
bell-mouth guns. The slaughter that
resulted always broke up the Mexiosns
before they got within fighting dis

APPLYING MANURE.
An Agricultural Duty Not Fully Understo
by Many Farmers.

by Many Farmers.
II ought to be understood that fresh
manure is not available fertility, and
that if applied so as to come in contact
with the plants. and especially with
some varieties, it is positively injurious
By this it must not be inferred that all
manure must be we'll rotted before ap-
plying. AS a general rule, on the farm,
the safest plan to follow is to haul out
manure whenever there is time to do
the work and you have the manure to
haul. Generally there will be plenty of
places that need the manure and are in
condition to receive the benefit.
AS rule the work should be so
planned that the manure can be applied
some time before the crop is sown or
planted. and good opportunity afford
ed to incorporate thoroughly with the
soil. If care is taken to mix we'll with
the soil SO that only small per cent.
would be liable to come in contact with
the plants, usually fresh manure will,
at least, do no great harm; but, if ap-
piled just before crop is planted it
will be of very little benetitto that crop,
because the plant food it contains is
not soluble and consequently is not
available.
There is always more or less plowing
done in the fall, and this enables us to
have land in good condition to receive
an application of manure, and usually
with time enough to get thoroughly
incorporated with the soil before a crop
will be sown or planted. During the
fall and winter there is always more
manure than can be hauled out, usually
plenty of time for doing the work, and
all tho manure possible should be hauled
out and scattered.
In the garden and truck patch the
manure should be thoroughly rotted
Usually 1t is not q good plan to apply
fresh manure, especially If it Is coarse.

CRUELTY AMONG BOYS.
A Scientist Claims That They Have hut
Little Compassion for Sufferers.

scientist Claims Thnt They Have Hut
Little Compassion for Sufferers.
Like the savages of to-day those
fierce progenitors of ours must have
delighted in the torture of captured
enemies Thus. during long ages.
compassion was unknown, and it ap-
pears to have been lately acquired by
the now dominant races. Indeed,
even among so highly cultivated n peo-
pie as the Romans 1t remained almost
unknown until comparatively recent
times--say fifteen hundred years ago
in proof of which may be noted their
heartlcss fondness for the bloody sports
of the arena.
Tho emotion of pity, then, appeared
late in the history of the race; and, in
view of the law Of our development,
which carries us along the path our
ancestors have trod, how can we ex-
pect our boys to be any thing else but
cruclp How far is it judicious to go,
in trying to alter the natural course of
child's mental growth by imposing
upon him ideas which in due course
lie will not share until laterp
This last question is inviting,
but we will not go into solution
at present, contenting ourselves with
observing that because II boy shows no
compunction at giving pain to u cap
tive bird, or calmly laceratcs the feel
ings of family of squirrels, merely
to give himself II few soon neglected
pets, is no reason for expecting him to
grow up q monster of cruelty. And
we will further venture to suggest that
much of the immortality of boys is u
necessary consequences of their descent,
as n corollary of which follows the aph-
orism of my witty friend: IA good
boy is diseased"
My own conviction is that healthy
boys under fifteen feel very little COM
passion for any suffering but that of
their near relatives, their close friends
and occasionally their pet animals. Not
only do they evince little compassion,
| but they often show more than an en-
tire apathy, even an actual pleasure, at
the sight of pain inflicted upon ami
mails; and some, with whom we need
not now concern ourselves, take de-
light that to grown people seems almost
liendish in tormenting their weaker
pluyfellows. JOHN johnson, in Popular

THE ISLAND CONTINENT.
Australis's Former Connection With 18th,
Rest OF the World"

Rest OF the World"
About the beginning of the tertiary
period, inst after the chalk was all de-
posted, and just before tho compara-
lively modern clays and sandstones of
the London basin began to be laid
down, an arm Of the sea broke up the
connection which once subsisted be-
tween Australia and the rest of the
world, probably by land bridge, via
Java, Sumatra, the Malay peninsula,
and Asia generally. "But how do you
know" asks the candid inquirer. "that
such connection ever existed at alp"
Simply thus, because there are large
land mammals in Australia. Now,
large land mammals do not swim
across broad ocean. There are none
in New Zealand, mono in the Azores,
none in Fiji, none in Tahiti, none in
MADEIRA. none in Teneriffe-none, in
short, in any oceanic island which
never at any time formed q part of a
great continent. How could there be,
indeedP The mammals must neces-
sarily have got there from somewhere,
and whenever we find islands like
Britain, or Japan, or Newfoundland,
or Sicily, possessing large and abund-
ant indigenous quadrupeds of the same
general type rs adjacent continents,
we see at once that the island must
formerly have been mere peninsula,
like Italy or Nova Scotia ut the pres.
ent day. The very fact that Australia
encloses large group of biggish quad
rupeds, whose congeners once in
habited Europe and America. sufiices
in itself to prove beyond question that
uninterrupted land communication
must once have existed between Aus
tralia and those distant eontine nts.-
